6 Things I Want to See in Spider-Man: No Way Home
The first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home arrived this week and the internet is having a celebration! Not all of the rumors were confirmed in the trailer, but enough has been teased that everybody seems pretty happy. I’m very excited myself. And as with most upcoming superhero movies, I have a list of demands!
Anything can happen in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The multiverse has been broken open, Into the Spider-Verse was a huge success, a lot of actors are still around; this movie could have everything. The only way to know for sure is to see it when it comes out on Dec. 17. But until then, I’m going to speculate wildly about what exactly I hope to see in this new movie. Life is just fun that way.
And feel free to share your own hopes and dreams for Spider-Man: No Way Home in the comments!

The first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home arrived last night and it has taken the internet by storm — largely by confirming a lot of the rumors and predictions. I’m excited. See for yourself.
In case you don’t know what’s going on, that’s Alfred Molina returning as Doctor Octopus, the character he played in the movie Spider-Man 2 from way back in 2004. And we can also see a pumpkin bomb from Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin. As far as we know, these actors are not playing new versions of these characters.
It would seem that the villains from the original, early-2000s Spider-Man movies are somehow going to travel through the Multiverse to show up in Spider-Man: No Way Home to fight the current movie Spider-Man.
Obviously, this is cool and I’m very excited. But I’m curious whether or not casual fans will get what’s happening. I fondly remember every single character from the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies, but are casual fans going to understand the implication of Doc Ock showing up in the new movie? Will they recognize the Green Goblin’s pumpkin bomb? Or maybe Marvel is so confident in the pop culture power of their Spider-Man films that they’re just going to go for broke and hope everybody is able to keep up.
Either way, we’ll hopefully find out on Dec. 17 when Spider-Man: No Way Home arrives in theaters.

Let’s Kill Some Time Until Spider-Man
Apparently, the first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home has leaked online in various bootleg versions. I haven’t seen it, nor do I want to see it. I’m more than willing to have patience because word on the internet streets is that the actual, full trailer is going to release tonight during some special Sony presentation. So I’ll likely post it tomorrow!
While we wait, how about some Honest Trailers? They’re always fun!
And I was right, they were fun! Honest Trailers are always good for some time killing, and these worked excellently. They really nailed Loki and The Suicide Squad. And in a couple of months, I’ll be able to do an Honest Trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home. So it really all exists full circle.
Now we simply sit back and wait for the real No Way Home trailer to arrive…

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/21/21
We’re two weeks away from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Feels good to be super excited about another Marvel movie! Good thing we have plenty of interesting comics to get us through this, like Power Rangers, Nightwing and the start of the Trial of Magneto!
Comic Book of the Week goes to a truly epic Way of X #5. I already loved this book for the philosophy, and then this issue goes and delivers some truly out-of-this-world action!
Meanwhile, I had a pretty busy week and wasn’t able to get around to all of my normal comic reviews. After two weeks of nearly bare pull lists, this week had a ton of comics! I had to skip out on Marauders, Iron Man and Supergirl this week, but I hope to get caught up and review their next issues.
Comic Reviews: Nightwing #83, Power Rangers #10, Superman and the Authority #2, Way of X #5, X-Corp #4 and X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1.

As is usually the case, the world of entertainment continues to churn out new shows for us to absorb and enjoy. It’s just the way the wheel turns. And we got a couple of fun trailers for said entertainments this week!
Like Star Wars: Visions, which looks like the good people at Star Wars hired a bunch of anime pros and told them to go nuts.
This looks gorgeous! A wonderful blend of Star Wars and anime and looks like it’s going to explore all sorts of corners of the Star Wars universe. Sounds great to me! I look forward to this one going really wild. Star Wars: Visions is coming to Disney+ on Sept. 22.
Next up, we’re getting an even newer He-Man cartoon!
Apparently, Masters of the Universe: Revelation wasn’t enough for Netflix and they had this whole other He-Man cartoon in the works as well. This one is CGI and seems more geared towards younger audiences.
Looks pretty OK to me. I’m still waiting for something to do with He-Man what was done with She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Perhaps He-Man and the Masters of the Universe will finally be it! Even though it’s still not just a straight forward He-Man revival cartoon, which is what I’m pretty sure most fans want. Oh well.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe arrives on Netflix on Sept. 16.
